Does/has anyone gone back to school just to take one class they always wanted to take?

I've always thought of it..

but I was so eager to get out of school when I was 22 that I never could bring myself to go back.. but then I saw all the cool classes at NYU and School of Visual Arts on a flyer that I would consider it in a year or two.

i say go for it!!!

think of how much fun you would allow yourself to have if you take a class....just because....none of the pressure, just doing something you want to!

i'm taking classes now that i'm a teacher so that i can get extra credits and make more money...but once that's done, i would love to take classes that interest me!

i have to go back anyway for teaching...but there are some classes i would like to take on the side. i will in the near future

Quark = An EVIL program


Anyways... After 8 years from graduating college and hating it... I am finally going back to school to get my computer network MCSE certification. The training I needed was for a network upgrade for my job, they are paying for everything. I am just taking the exams to get certified for shyts and grins.

Actually getting certified is also an 'emergency' plan for me to have in case I ever get laid off. The IT market is tough and I want every edge I can get.

I was eyeing the Westchester Community College catelog, but I'd have to wait untill the spring semeter because of the wedding & hoenymoon. Ialso don't know if I could make it there in time after work in NYC.

I want to take something really creative & hands on, unlike the boring English classes I took at Fordham.

I want to become fluent in Italian. I am seriously thinking of taking an intro italian class.

My husband speaks fluent Italian (he lived in Italy as an adult for 8 years)...but he only teaches me profanity!

LOL... nowadays thats all you really need to know anyways. Gotta be careful on what you can say (or even better what you CAN'T).

Last summer I took a continuing ed class- acrylic painting. I was a little disappointed becuase it was supposed to be for beginners but it was taught like a more advanced class. But I am still glad I did it.

I had to go back for some undergrad classes to get certified for teaching, so I took Creative Writing bc it sounded interesting. IT turned out to be my all-time favorite class I've ever taken! School is so different when you WANT to be there!

You should consider taking the 'Teach me Italian' audio tapes from the library. I just did this (I'm leaving for Italy on Thurs.) and they're amazing! I want to take Italian at SCC too! I'm obsessed!

Re: Does/has anyone gone back to school just to take one class they always wanted to take?

I will check those tapes out from the library! Definately a place to start!

Have a great time in Italy!
